the social process to realize the
unprecedented society where more than eighty
percent of the population must live in public
housing estates under the public housing authority
of the Housing and Development
Board (HDB) in Singapore, and to explore the
interaction between the nation and the state.
Interaction and struggle have existed between
the housing authority and the estate residents,
and this has had a direct relation on nationbuilding
in Singapore. As the first step forward,
this paper focuses on the public housing estates
developed by Singapore Improvement Trust
(SIT), which was the predecessor of HDB and
operating from 1927 to 1960.
An examination of earlier research on SIT
reveals that no sociological studies have been
conducted on SIT, but there was a study done
in the field of public administration that compared
SIT and HDB, with the formulation
that SIT was inferior to HDB, an organization
that has contributed to the nation-building and
success of Singapore. This formulation is same
as the one created by HDB, and has become
absolute in a society where most of the population
must live in estates under HDB.
However, the fieldwork undertaken by the
author on the SIT flats that remain reveals that
they continue to serve as very good housing
and are excellent places to reside. Some literature
on the SIT flats demolished by HDB also
indicate that they were very good to live in.
Many Singaporeans also express concern about
the housing, and some interesting movements
are occurring there now.
To grasp the work of SIT it is necessary to
maintain a distance from the absolute formulati
on and exami n e i t in d e ta i l u s ing
contemporary materials of those days when the
housing estates were being developed by SIT.
This will help examine the process of developing
public housing estates in Singapore and
take a step forward in the sociological study of
the interaction between the nation and the
state., 彦根論叢, 第404号, pp. 16-31, The Hikone Ronso, No.404, pp. 16-31},
